Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.
Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.
I used Redact on android to delete all my reddit comments just before RIF shutdown
I thought we needed to rewrite them instead of deleting for some reason
If you delete comments, they still exist (but are hidden from the public) so reddit can still sell the content/conversation to 3rd parties, eg for training language models. If you edit the comments first, it makes the conversation nonsensical and reddits “product” is less valuable
Ok yes! How do I do this? I’m decently technically savvy, but the last time I looked this up, it was more than I was willing to mess with outside of paid hours
I used Nuke Reddit History (Google it)
